General Description
The Rane AD 22d is a fully balanced two Input, two Output
audio alignment Delay providing a range of 1.50 to 999.99 milliseconds
on each Output. The Delay of each Output is independently
adjustable in 10 microsecond and 1 millisecond increments.
24-bit audio converters provide excellent sound quality.
Each Output has two nonvolatile Memories (no batteries
required), A and B, for easy access to previously stored Delay
values. Remote Recall screw terminals on the rear accept external
configuration switches, permitting independent remote recall of
the Memories.
The AD 22d features XLR Inputs and Outputs, and is CE
certified for emissions. Housed in a single rack space, the unit
can operate as two independent channels (dual mono), or as a
stereo pair (edit both channels simultaneously).
Delay values can be displayed in milliseconds, feet or meters.
The ambient temperature of the room may be manually entered
in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. This temperature is used to accurately
convert distance into time.
A recessed rear panel switch is available for locking out front
panel controls. In this mode, all of the front panel pushbuttons
are disabled with the exception of the Channel select and Display
Mode buttons. The Channel button remains active so the
user may view the Delay values without risk of changing them,
and the Display Mode button allows displaying the Delay values
in milliseconds, feet or meters. Internal jumpers are available to
enable or disable Bypass while in Front Panel Lockout mode. The
default setting of these jumpers disables Bypass in Front Panel
Lockout mode.
Independent bypass relays provide a fail safe, hard-wired
bypass in case of power loss.
The AD 22d is a unity gain device with Sensitivity controls
to provide proper internal levels for the audio converters. If the
input signal is nominally +4 dBu, set the Sensitivity control fully
counter clockwise (+4 dBu). For those unable to touch a cable
and determine its signal level, Signal present and Clip indicators
provide visual acknowledgment that the Input signal is within
optimal range.
Powered from a low voltage UL listed and CSA certified
remote power supply (230 VAC supply meets LVD 73/23/EEC),
the AD 22d is exempt from safety agency requirements, and may
be used in any installation mandating agency compliance.

SENSITIVITY
To ensure optimal performance, adjust the Sensitivity control
so its indicator points to the nominal input signal level. Signal
present and Clip indicators provide verification that the signal is
within the optimal range. The Sensitivity control adjusts the input
and output signal so that the AD 22d is always at unity gain.
SETTING DELAY
There are two modes for setting Delay in the AD 22d: setting
one channel at a time and setting both channels simultaneously.
To set a single channel’s Delay, press the Channel button until
the LEDs indicate the Channel you want to set (1 or 2). Then
press the up/down buttons until the display shows the desired
Delay. When editing both channels simultaneously (both Channel
1 and 2 LEDs on), the display shows the smaller of the two
current Delay values. In this mode, the two current Delay values
are “locked” together. Adjusting the up/down buttons changes
both values by the same relative amount. The edit both mode
allows easy stereo editing and also allows both drivers of a prealigned
cluster to be moved forward or backward simultaneously.
STORING DELAY
Press the Store button. This stores both current Delay values
into each channel's current Memory. A channel's current
Memory is indicated by the Memory LED lit when editing that
channel. The Store LED stops flashing when the current Delay
values match the stored values.

RECALLING DELAY
Pressing the Recall button alternately recalls stored Memories
(A then B then A…) for the selected channel(s) only.

SETTING TEMPERATURE
Hold down Display Mode and press the up/down buttons to
edit the AD 22d’s temperature setting. The 1 ms/Coarse buttons
display temperature in degrees Celsius, the 10µsec/Fine buttons
display degrees in Fahrenheit. No matter which unit (°C or °F),
adjustments are always in 1°C steps (or 1.8°F). The AD 22d does
not change the current Delay times for different temperature settings;
only the displayed distance values are altered. (See example
below.)
REMOTE RECALL
A switch wired to the Remote Recall terminals allows remote
recall of stored Memories for each channel. Wire directly to a
room divider latch to automatically recall the two room configurations.
Or store one Memory with the speaker stack’s distance
at one temperature and store the other Memory with the stack’s
distance at another temperature. Then, during the warmer part
of the day, restore the warmer temperature.
For example, set up the initial temperature for 71.6°F (the
default), and set the stack’s distance for 250.00 feet. Press Store
to save this value in Memory A (250.00 feet at 71.6°F is 220.85
msec). Then change the temperature setting to 100°F, and we’re
in Arizona. Notice that the current distance changes to 257.11
feet, but the current Delay time is still 220.85 msec. Now, edit the
current value for 250.00 feet (still your stack’s distance). Press
Store to save this value in Memory B (250.00 feet at 100°F is
214.74 msec.) Now Memory A has the proper value for the stack
at 71.6°F (220.85 msec/250 ft.), and Memory B has the value for
100°F (214.74 msec/250 ft.).
